About The Residency:

The AI Research Residency program presents an exclusive 6-12-month opportunity to accelerate your career in modern AI research. As an AI Research Resident at Normal Computing, you'll have the incredible opportunity to collaborate with our world-class research team in bringing to life a full-stack physics-based AI platform. Your role will involve developing cutting-edge algorithms and hardware paradigms for AI, pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

Specifically, you will: 

• Interface with our world-class research team focused on developing a full-stack physics-based AI platform. 

• Explore cutting-edge generative AI tools for novel applications

• Research and develop new algorithms and hardware paradigms for AI. 

• Conduct numerical benchmarking of algorithmic and hardware proposals.

• Optimize hardware speedups over state-of-the-art and characterize the impact of hardware noise. 

• Investigate commercial applications that stand to benefit from Normal’s physics-based AI platform.

If you're ready to be on the frontier of AI research and share our vision for the synergy between physics and AI, we invite you to apply to our AI Residency Program and be part of the exciting future of AI at Normal Computing.

The experience we’re looking for:

• Experience with large-scale numerical simulations, including benchmarking of ML algorithms and training of ML models. 

• Experience with modern AI methods, such as probabilistic ML, Bayesian reasoning, sampling algorithms, and generative AI models. 

• Familiarity with classical physics formalism, differential equations, and stochastic processes.

• Familiarity with characterizing the impact of noise and imperfections on algorithmic performance.

• Familiarity with data science applications and specific use cases of ML methods.

• Proficiency in at least one programming language, with a preference for those commonly used in ML or scientific computing such as Python or C++.

• Familiarity with TensorFlow, PyTorch, Jax, NumPy, Pandas, or similar ML/scientific libraries.
